It's obviously based off of some time frame of Eurasia. Haven't had a history lesson on some time so what ages fit with GoT's weapons and shit i don't remember but yeah.

its the 1400s. the starks are the yorks and the lannisters are the lancasters

The wire was great because they didn't give excess story lines. They showed the cops and their dealings with the crap they see daily but also never made them protagonists either.

It was always intended to end as it did, basically.

Superior show to anything ever created due to the background of those whom created/wrote the script.

The best overall character was Stringer Bell. The most poorly written and clichéd were Barksdale and Omar. But the tars needed someone to root for.

The fact they were able to weave such a wonderfully interlaced show was impressive. They showed, using factual events and loose fiction, the involvement of media and government in such a way that no one is really the singular antagonist but that everyone is at fault.

I believe the HD remaster comes out this week. So, it may be worth watching again.
